Mueller Will ‘Crack Trump Jr. Like An Egg On National TV’, Bannon Says

Former Trump top adviser Steve Bannon has told journalist Michael Wolff that Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election is going to come down hard on President Donald Trump’s eldest son, according to a new bombshell report by The Guardian.

Bannon believes that Mueller’s team is going to focus on alleged money laundering operations that are conducted at Trump properties around the world — and that’s bad news for members of the Trump family, according to an except of Wolff’s upcoming book seen by The Guardian,

“They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV,” Bannon reportedly told Wolff.

Bannon also reportedly mocked Trump Jr. for agreeing to take a meeting with Russian officials at Trump Tower based on promises that they could deliver damaging information on Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Wolff’s upcoming book is called “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” and The Guardian writes that it’s based on “more than 200 interviews with the president, his inner circle, and players in and around the administration.”
